Earthen Comforts: Airing Earth is a courtyard installation led by Liz Gálvez (Office e.g.) that stages mass and fiber as shared infrastructures for collective comfort in the Los Angeles summer. Building on the practice’s ongoing investigation into heat resilience and material experimentation by staging thermal infrastructures as architectural and civic propositions, the project adapts passive cooling strategies from desert contexts into the M&A x Craft Contemporary Courtyard.

Now a global phenomenon, San Francisco’s international success is born from a historically free-spirited entrepreneurialism, coupled with the imaginative vision of contemporary design and state-of-the-art technology.

Across eight thematic chapters, nineteen projects trace the interplay of instinct and intellect in Gehry’s creative process: from the rebellious intimacy of his Santa Monica house to the urban choreography of Loyola Law School, from the fragmented monumentality of the Chiat/Day Offices to the titanium tides of the Guggenheim Bilbao and the musical sails of the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Through sketches and models of ongoing or unbuilt dreams, architecture emerges as a living organism—as pragmatic and chimerical as any human being, full of invention and expressive poetry.

The exhibition also highlights Gehry’s longstanding dialogue with artists and fellow architects, particularly Álvaro Siza, with whom he collaborated on the master plan for the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, and whose friendship led to numerous exchanges between the United States and Portugal. From Los Angeles to Berlin, Paris to New York, Sydney to Toronto, the selected works showcase an artist who has blurred the boundaries between sculpture and architecture, gravity and fluidity, memory and the future. This is not a retrospective; it is a celebration of freedom, imagination, and the courage to keep seeing the world anew for nearly a century.

The "Century of Gehry" exhibition is organized by the Serralves Foundation and curated by its Director of Architecture, António Choupina, in partnership with Gehry Partners and in collaboration with the Getty.

The workshop will be held in Rovereto (TN), Italy, from 03.07.2026 to 12.07.2026 

Registration by 17th June 2026

Camposaz 54:54 lands in the mountain town of Rovereto for a special edition titled "Progetto Manifattura"

The workshop, supported by Trentino Sviluppo, will focus on the outdoor space of the former Manifattura Tabacchi. After being abandoned, the factory has been transformed into a sustainability hub dedicated to researchers, start-ups, and collective energies. The inner courtyard is now a parking space, but has great potential to become a hub for local culture, meetings, and social gatherings, just a few steps from the village’s centre.

The workshop:

Camposaz is an open experience where design and 1:1 construction happen simultaneously. There is no pre-defined project: the ideas will emerge from the landscape, the local community and the synergy of the participants. We work primarily with wood, respecting the environment and the industrial heritage of Manifattura.

Call for Participants:

We are looking for 12 participants (architects, designers, woodworkers, ec) to join the workshop.

• The application requires a motivational letter and a project you are proud of.

• Cost: The workshop is free! Participants are only asked to pay the €15 registration fee for the Camposaz association membership.

• Logistics: We will live the full experience, sleeping in common spaces (like camping, but inside). All meals are provided!

If you are interested, complete the form by 17th June 2026:

Situated in the TIMS café & padaria within the Museu das Comunicações in Santos, one of Lisbon’s busiest and most diverse areas, Aea Space positions itself as a “city-facing” environment. It brings together conversations shaped by a range of lived experiences, including those formed by the isolation, displacement and migration, precarity, and broader conditions of social instability.

Within this setting, Drifting Signals, Lasting Traces focuses on what lingers beyond a visible, screen-driven understanding of communication. The exhibition draws on its often overlooked dimensions: from underground vegetation systems to embodied experience, and to infrastructures that remain largely absent from everyday discussions of networked systems, such as data centers and the resource extraction that sustain them.

Communication is approached here as a dispersed and non-linear process, subject to manipulation and imperfection—conditions that make it unreliable, but also human. Embedded within the busy daily flow of a café, the exhibition offers a moment to pause and consider the imprints such exchanges leave behind, and the ways they can produce lasting traces. Curated by Katya Savchenko, the exhibition features artists from the UK and Portugal: Camila Almeida, Anastasia Belinskaya, Inês Magalhães, Susana Rocha, Tiago Rocha Costa, and Syntheticduo (Anastasia Belinskaya & Polina Kravchenko). 

Aea: Culture Initiative is an independent, bottom-up creative laboratory and community of 80+ émigré practitioners working across cultures. Spanning visual arts, design, architecture, urbanism, education, media, and curation, it forms temporary collectives around shared inquiries. Aea translates research into public formats—exhibitions, talks, publications, and experimental programs.

Opening: May 26, 6:30 pm

Exhibition runs May 26 – August 23, 2026, 8:30 am –5:00 pm

Venue: Aea Space at TIMS café & padaria

This event brings together Nata Tatunashvili — architect and designer, founder of NWDS studio and Ubani — Tbilisi Cityscape Research Center, and Aea’s founder and programme curator and Andreia Garcia, architect, curator, researcher, professor, and founder of Architectural Affairs studio and Galeria de Arquitectura in Porto to discuss their work across architecture, design, curating, research, and teaching.

Andreia and Nata will speak about a shared concern: what it takes for fragile forms of collectivity and conversation to persist in social, spatial, and cultural contexts that offer little stability. The discussion will move through the following questions: How can a space for culture be built without pre-defined institutional frameworks? What forms of communication hold such spaces together? And who is the city for?

This event marks the unveiling of Aea Space — a new multidisciplinary initiative at TIMS café & padaria in central Lisbon — and introduces its cultural proposition. Grounded in a female-led, horizontal approach, it unfolds through reflection, open conversations, and practices of care. Aea is rooted in lived experiences of migration, rupture, and the loss of homes and systems that once held them, and asks how creative work can be sustained under these conditions.
